Undergraduate / Foundations of Journalism / Middle ages - NYU academic areas of study [8]

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

Please tell us what led you to select both your anticipated academic area(s) of study and the NYU school / college / program or the Abu Dhabi campus. What interests you most about your intended discipline? Mention any extracurricular or non-school-related activities or experiences that demonstrate your interest.

Being a teenager on the brink of adulthood, there are still a world of things I don't know - One of them being what I want to with the rest of my life. I had originally wanted to become a Pediatrician because being a doctor is an indispensable job and I find such great pleasure in helping people. But science is not my passion - giving is. I have been volunteering since I was 12. I'm applying to NYU because of its tradition of Service - and Office of Civic Engagement to facilitate the volunteer efforts of its students. More specifically, the College of Arts and Sciences will give me the opportunity to find my passion. Whether I take a Foundations of Journalism class or a class outlining the Passion and Desire in the Middle Ages, NYU will help me decide who I want to become.

Undergraduate / Concept of Global Network University - NYU SUPPLEMENT [5]

NYU is 'In and of the City' and 'In and of the World.' What does the concept of a global network university mean to you? How do you think studying in New York City, Abu Dhabi, or one of NYU's global sites would change you as a person and equip you to build cross-cultural relationships at NYU and beyond?

A global university encompasses the sole theme of diversity. I strive to diversify myself through experiencing the unfamiliar. The great thing about NYU is that taking risks is encouraged. Risking disease to study in Ghana or risking parental disownment by changing majors, unfamiliar is normal. The more cultures I become familiar with through study abroad programs, volunteering efforts, classes about cultural development, and being in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, the more readily and confidently I can give of myself. I believe that by being apart of a global community will better prepare me for life after college.
